Sherrif’s nephew claims Travis Walton Hoax well known?


The folloing rant was sent to me to discredit Waltons character. I present it unedited. I didn't write this. 



"Let those without sin cast the first stone" JC.
The Accusation:
"Ok all of you alien freaks I hate to ruin your dreams but here is the truth about Travis Walton, I am from Snowflake Az ( which is were Travis Walton is from) and I gradated with his oldest child ( who's name is Clifton and his cousin Donavan graduated in are same class, just trying to prove my point that I did, it was the class of 1996) my great uncle is Sank Flake who was the county Sheriff at the time of the abduction, Travis Walton and Mike Rogers worked together for a couple of years in the white Mountains cutting lumber down for the paper mills, IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE TO ALL RESIDANTS OF YOUNG ARIZONA WHICH IS WHERE TRAVIS WAS APPERANTLY ABDUCTED THAT THE AIR FORCE DID ALOT OF TEST MANUVERS THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS FOR TRAINING, for us who have been camping in the white mountains for most of are lives, on a rare occasion the forest ranger will come and say to campers that there will be helicopters and other stuff flying through the air during the night please do not be alarmed and if you get spot lighted it will only be for a second, here is my point, Mike and Travis were way behind on contracts so they hired a few extra hands, which took them over there budget, one of them was a well known acid freak from Concho Az which is about 5 miles outside of Snowflake, ( his name is Dallas) my uncle arrested Dallas on drug charges he was on bail when he was hired by Mike Rogers to work, THE DAY THAT TRAVIS WALTON WAS ABDUCTED IS THE SAME DAY THAT THE AIRFORCE WAS DOING TRAINING IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS, yes Travis got out of the truck and looked up in the sky at the weird lights that were above him and yes a spot light came all around him, and Mike Rogers drove off and left him and the spot light came on the truck which scared all the men in the truck, the spot light was only on them for a second, Mike drove to the diner which was twelve miles down the road called the red robin inn diner, MIKE WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO WENT BACK TO PICK-UP TRAVIS FROM THE SPOT WHERE HE FOUND TRAVIS WHO WAS PASSED OUT FROM DRINKING AFTER THEY GOT DONE WITH WORK THAT DAY,they were going to lose there contracts in a couple days which was going to bankrup Travis and Mikes business. The guys who stayed at the diner told all the patrons that they saw weird lights and it chased them and they said that Travis got out and what had happened, all those guys had friends come pick them up at the diner except one, Dallas, Dallas started to hitch hike down the road and was picked up by one Mike Rogers, Dallas had told Mike what all the guys were saying in the inn and that the patrons were asking alot about the lights around the truck and around Travis, they told the patrons that they were being attacked by UFO'S, TRAVIS WALTON WAS AT DALLAS'S HOUSE IN CONCHO ARIZONA FOR FIVE DAYS GETTING HIGH OFF HIS ASS, Travis Walton will tell you in his book " The Walton Expirience " that he passed a lie ditector test twice and so did all of his co-workers, what he doesn't say in there are the questions that were asked to him and his co-workers, my uncle saw the questions that were being asked, like did you see lights in the sky, did a light come upon you, did a light follow you in the truck, those are the questions that were aske to Travis Walton and his co-workers so he wasn't lying about what he was saying, something else Travis Walton does not tell you in his book is how Dallas was sent to jail 1 month after the apperent abduction for three years for failing a drug test and selling drugs, and he also fails to mention how the lumber contracts were payed off and new contracts were made, Hmmm ironic, now alot you may say how do I know that Travis walton was at Dallas house, I dont know, but when Travis was found in Heber Az and after he got out of the hospital his sister and Mike and his wife were riding in the police car with my Uncle they were going to pick up Dallas to go to the town hall in snowflake to talk with all these people my Uncle asked Travis if he new where Dallas lived in Concho, Travis said no, as they were turning on the road to Dallas house my uncle accidentally turned down the wrong road, and Travis told him that he needed to actually turn down the next road, my uncle said I thought you didn't know where he lived, and Travis response was that he had heard Dallas telling Mike how to get to his house, wow if I got abducted by aliens and there was alot of attention on me at that time in my life I just dont know if I could tell you an exact road to go on if I had never been there before and I heard it in second conversation. And here is my proof about the whole thing, when my Uncle Sank was retired he told my Uncles and my dad that they new Travis was in Concho after the fact but there was alot of man power spent on trying to find him for the week he was gone and there was alot of money being brought into the community about the whole ordeal so they just let it be, and Travis has made alot of money on his ordeal, but trust me people his Family went through hell from critism from the town folk and his poor son Clifton was made fun of ruthlessly throughtout school, which I new clifton and I liked him, but he new who my uncle was and my uncle was actually the James Gardner person in the movie, and my uncle always was critical of Travis, so I could tell clifton didnt like my uncle. But I apologize for the post being so long it was the only way I could say everything, and yes everybody in Snowflake will tell you the exact same story I said, that is why Travis never does interviews in Snowflake he does not want the reporters to ask questions to anybody who was around at that time, so go ahead and start attacking my claim and I promise I will give you an answer to every question.

P.S. Sorry Clifton"


The written accusation above came to me via a YouTube presentation "Travis Walton at the International UFO Congress" 2010 I put up. The statements above are nothing but a rehash of accusations leveled at Walton for a number of years. To prove this I refer to a two part post I published in April 2007 "Travis Walton: The Hoax That wasn't ", and I quote:
"Debunkers' Concerns:
1. The young man, Travis Walton, had a expunged record (burglary) so Mr. No Klass mentioned the record in his book, but didn't mention how he came by this fact. Of course, this should have been a plus to Walton's character, since he did get the conviction wiped off the record by doing what was right, but Klass didn't represent it that way in the book. Travis had revealed his youthful offence in the primary examination after the UFO incident.
2. Mr. Klass had valid data which indicated that certain information had been withheld intentionally by APRO (Aerial Phenomena Research Organization) which was based in Tucson, Arizona. (Travis Watson failed his first polygraph test administered by an expert with 10 years experience, hired by APRO).
3. Travis took a second Polygraph test (two months later) and he passed, but Klass pointed out the examiners only had 2 years experience and was instructed what questions to ask.
4. The motive given for the hoax by the debunkers and others is: Mike Rogers, owner of the business for nine years," had grossly underestimated the magnitude of the job and could not complete it on time" This would result in payment held up till spring unless he could prove an act of God –which this was.

Also about the area:
"By the way, just a note, under the freedom of information act documents were de-classified to indicate activity by UFOs in and around the areas at that time:

"DOD, USAF, and CIA document reveal that during October, November, and December of 1975, reliable military personnel repeatedly sighted unconventional aerial objects in the vicinity of nuclear-weapons storage areas, aircraft alert areas and nuclear-missile control facilities at Loring Air Force Base, Maine; Wurtsmith AFB Michigan; Malstrom AFB, Montana; Minot AFB, North Dakota…"

http://www.cohenufo.org/Gilson_Wltn%20Ltr%20to%20Black.htm

I know this person once to believe his uncle but the idea of helicopters and jet maneuvers being mistaken for what Seven witnesses testified about is ridicules. We all know that police do not like to be wrong and they will many times continue to peruse their first line of thinking on a case right or wrong. The truth is how many cops would believe someone who has committed a crime about something like this. The other accusation his great uncle makes is not news at all, it is the same accusations we've had from the beginning. But think about this if it was a hoax? Walton had to had to have planned it when he was hit by the "beam". When that "spotlight" hit him he acted as if he was knocked back and unconscious. So what are we to think… Travis Walton is the Robert De Nero of UFO land…wow what adlibbing? It was also very nice that the "helicopter" cooperated in this hoax by shining a spotlight in front of the other witnesses.
Travis Walton was convicted of burglary when he was younger many. I wouldn't expect the townspeople to put much trust in Travis Walton. He was a trouble make, however he had his record expunged before this, and that is never mentioned.. You can't attack the evidence by attacking the character. The National Inquirer was there and here is Jeff Wales the reporter from the inquirer described the meeting their first meeting with Travis:
"Jeff Wales, upon seeing Travis's brother for the first time reported "The cowboy (Travis Watson's brother Duane) was no disappointment. He was one of the meanest and toughest-looking men I've ever seen - in his late twenties, a rodeo professional and amateur light-heavyweight fighter, a total abstainer, broad-shouldered, T-shirt packed with muscle, chiseled-down hips, bow legged, eyes full of nails, tense, unpredictable."
"Nobody is going to laugh at my brother," he told Wales.Wales replied… "we would hide them away and pay the kid a grand to tell his story"
"To our relief the cowboy agreed - but not, he said, because of the money, because his brother had a true story to tell which would enlighten the world".
"Our first sight of the kid (Travis) was at dinner in the hotel dining room that night. It was a shock. He sat there mute, pale, twitching like a cornered animal. He was either a brilliant actor or he was in serious funk about something".

Polygraph Test:
Question: What would happen to a person emotionally who had actually been taken aboard a ship by horrible looking aliens?
"The "National Inquirer", investigated the story, found Travis to be so upset it necessitated flying in a husband-and-wife team of psychiatrists from Colorado to tranquilize the kid (Travis) and keep the cowboy (his brother) from exploding.
Jeff Wells reported "The kid was a wreck and it was all the psychiatrist could do to get him ready for the lie-detector expert we had lined up.
The test lasted an hour and I was in the next room fending off the TV crew when I heard the cowboy scream: "I'll kill the son of a bitch!"
"The kid had failed the test miserably. The polygraph man said it was the plainest case of lying he'd seen in 20 years but the office (The National Enquirer) was yelling for another expert and a different result.
To head that off we had the psychiatrist put the cowboy and the kid through a long session of analysis.
Their methods were unique. The next day the four of them disappeared into a room and soon a waiter was headed there with two bottles of cognac.
At the end of it the psychiatrists were rolling drunk but they had their story and the brothers were crestfallen.
It seemed that the kid's father, who had deserted them as a child, had been a spaceship fanatic and all his life the kid had wanted to ride in a spacecraft.
He had seen something out there in the woods, some kind of an eerie light which had triggered a powerful hallucination which might recur at any time. There was no question of any kidnap by any mushroom men."

Travis Walton told a story of strange unemotional beings nothing like what his father and family believed. Would you take someone who this happen to him and get a great polygraph test while they were still in shock? "
And what of the final skeptics test:
"The following report on the final polygraph examination of Travis Walton, Mike Rogers and Allan was actually sponsored by a skeptic, Jerry Black. The test was performed with the latest state of the art equipment, by Cy Gilson, the most highly respected polygraph expert".
The relevant questions asked during the polygraph test, and the answers given, are reproduced here:
http://www.ufocasebook.com/walton_gilson.html


A comment by the Cy Gilson examiner niece:
Cy Gilson was my uncle, and his professionalism and his skill as a polygraph expert are perhaps unmatched amongst his peers in the field of polygraphy as a forensic tool.

we discussed this Travis Walton and crew test, and back then, Cy told me that he was more or less forced to rethink the "humans are the sole form of intelligent life in the universe" concept, something most Catholics cannot handle admitting too very readily or freely.

I support his conclusion that the men told the truth, and I think that the absurdity of assuming 'human' life is the only 'intelligent life' in the Universe, speaks for itself.

It wouldn't surprise me if life elsewhere has since marked the Earth a; "no visit zone, no intelligent life there" based on the insipid propensity for humans to kill everything they cannot understand or comprehend.

The evidence of who Travis Walton is confronts the skeptics even now his continuing life after this incident. without any crime since is a testament to how powerful this experience can be.

    1. Thanks Lesley,
      If you go to You Tube and type in UFO take a look at the hateful accusation by anyone showing a ufo video. It makes me wonder if these people think it's so silly why are they taking time out of their day to look into UFOs.
      As Shakespeare said they "doth protest to much" These people are afraid and that is why they react so hatefully.

    3. Exactly Lesley I said the same damn thing this guy is a moron There have been sightings all over the world humans are afraid of what they don't know exist not only that but afraid because they can't explain it and it's a big world no human not even scientists knows Everything that's out there Hell it's been factly proving that humans only know 5% of ocean life but cringe when hearing of mermaids So you mean to tell me WE can believe before humans existed that these gigantic reptiles called DINOSAURS were here but we can't seem to wrap our minds around Aliens, Satch Squatches, mermaids... Just who are we to say it doesn't and dont exist smh

      Delete
    4. Are you actually serious with that? There's undeniable evidence with dinosaurs. The only people who try to refute that are religious driven individuals who see contradictions on their beliefs. I can wrap my mind around aliens just fine... just not about them coming here and abducting people.

      The fact is, people WANT to believe. In numerous things. In fact, it's a huge drive in our collective nature. We take belief over plausibility and run with it. It's a basis as to why people can have blind faith about impossible things such as the virgin birth, or aliens, or (sigh) mermaids.

      There's no belief in dinosaurs, it's a fact. There's no evidence whatsoever that bigfoot exists. Ok fine, no REAL evidence. Yeah, we only know about a minute amount of life in the ocean, but that doesn't mean there's an equal chance of them being real as not. We do know a fair amount about science though, and considering that mermaids were folklore, I think we can assume they don't exist.

      "Believers" take the X (unknown) factor, run with it, and assume that their hope fills in all the blanks. It's the same method, be it from religion, conspiracies, or paranormalists.

    7. You know I don't know why people bother trying to prove stuff like this because let's be honest, real aliens could come out of the sky in the middle of the day, land on the white house lawn, take a shit on camera, shake hands with the president then take pictures with the entire white house staff, give a written statement saying they are indeed aliens to the press, pass 16 polygraphs and submit their DNA to 20 different scientists then fly off.. and people would still say Naw, it's a hoax by so so for whatever reason waste of time

    8. We humans do experimental work on animals and other living shit.....so why is it so hard to believe that aliens wouldnt take to run test on....find our weakness...being a ex military man, trust me....the government keeps quiet to ease the minds of all u, and not cause world wide panic!!!!!!!!

    9. Phil R. Phoenix, AZAugust 26, 2016 at 4:09 AM

      The abduction phenomenon is a traumatic one and usually is not welcomed by the abductee. It is rare to have a real abduction victim consider themselves "lucky" or "special". Instead they live with a secret they cannot share with others and the constant fear that they can be taken by aliens at any time and subjected to intimate and invasive procedures without understanding the purpose or nature of the abductions. Travis should be praised not ridiculed. To this day 40 yrs plus the man is still passionate and speaking and searching for meaning. If it was a hoax why would a man dedicate his entire existence, his whole life on the topic? Clearly this man experienced an event that to his last breath of life consumed his everything. Coexist.

Hes simply another CLOWN that will do anything for a $ and the sherrif isnt even the lyin efer's "uncle"-so dont believe a word this PATHETIC self serving fame seeker says because it is well known in navajo county that travis is a man of integrity and people believe him so dont let this fool try to change your mind so he can get all the attention and in his mind MONEY! Hes a little punk v

    11. I'll say this, Travis's story doesn't waver. No matter how many interviews, lectures, documentaries I see concerning this event--his story and his life appear to be genuine, real, authentic and truthfully 'unfortunate.' The person who presented the rant has some obvious issues and is in need of a high school education!

  2. Joe,

    Ok, here's my heresay -- a man that was the best man for my first marriage also lived in Snowflake at the time and for LONG afterwards. That person, my buddy, was also a very knownn person in that area - indeed, back in the early internet days you could literally google the term `visionary' and my buddy's name was on the front page of google.(Do to his work as a go-between for the Hopi Indians and another tribe.)
    Regardless of all that - my buddy is a man of TRUST in the community - knew Travis (SNOWFLAKE was very small) and knew him to be truthful. Also, over the years I've asked him on more than one occasion to tell me if he `other' crappola about the whole stated experience - his answer - NO.

    I'll leave it at that as to who I'd trust - some kid trying to carve out the tiniest of 15 minutes of fame on the internet with a STORY - or - my buddy of over 45 years - I think you know my answer.

    1. Thank you for your comment. In some people's book anyone who even sees a UFO is either a hoaxer or a nut.
      But those of us who have seen them up-close or know good honest people who have seen them know that is the biggest lie of all.

    2. I too dont believe in the Walton abduction, i think he's a liar. BUT, just reading this kid's letter almost makes me want to change my mind. Whether what he says is true or not, the hardest part to believe about the whole thing is the part where he says he graduated with Travis son, and the reason being is that his grammar skills suck so terribly that he couldnt have graduated from Kindergarten.

  8. Travis' father supposidly being into "spaceships" actually fits the pattern that we see of familial close encounters/experiencers.

    And the police should have checked Dallas' home during the days Travis was missing. It all sounds like sour grapes to me -- shoddy police investigative work, locals who don't like someone (usually for very local reasons)....after all when we look back on the Salem Witch Trials, it was neighbor against neighbor. Unfortunately, not much has changed but thankfully we have laws in place to protect us from peoples negative opinions.

  9. This is possibly the worst (and most inarticulate) attempt at debunkery I have ever read.

    I am reminded of this adolescent kid that I ran into at Roswell who basically said "all the alien s**t is a buncha crap...and everybody here knows it". Decades of research, hundreds of reasonably credible witnesses, (one of whom I knew long distance from a day job I held), and some snot-nosed illiterate brat negates it without anything resembling a coherent thought and no backup. Whatever.

    All of which would not be an issue if people would just consider the source, use their judgement, and not give people like this the time of day until they can back up what they are saying and present it with some degree of intelligence.

    The internet has really caused a cultural crescendo of abject stupidity: any idiot with an opinion and an ego can have a platform where people just slightly less evolved then them will give them credibility.

    I hate to sound like a cranky old man, but "back in the day"...before being able to code html or make a YouTube video or a frigging podcast gave you instant credibility, this would have been wadded up and thrown into the roundfile without a second thought.

    This kid wants to discredit Walton? Great. Let's see some signed statements from the officials involved at the time...and maybe some lie detector tests to reinforce those statements. Otherwise this is just an exercise in pathos and does not merit any consideration whatsoever.

  10. I recently moved to Arizona and bought a house. The customer service representative for the builder is from Snowflake. He says that he knows the Waltons and Mike Rodgers. He said they used to sub for his PE class. He also said that these people were very genuine "salt of the earth" type of people. Especially Mike Rodgers would never kid around, very serious and honest. He says he and everyone he knows in the area believe their story.

    1. that PROVES it! Case closed. Because nobody who are "genuine salt of the earth" type people could ever do harm. Jeffery Dahmer's neighbor said he was nice and his neighbor was also thought to be credible. Con-artists are also very nice to people, because that's their job. It doesn't matter HOW people seem or act, what matters is facts and proof, of which Mr. Walton has very little to none of either

  11. Dear JL,
    I think you would be right if we were only preaching to the choir...but were not. There are a great deal of people out there who sees and believes this stuff. I believe I will answer whatever I can for the sake of the witnesses who have came forward. That is the main reason for this blog and why it is non-Commercial.
    But believe me I get your point.

  12. Dear Alejandro,
    Looking forward to seeing you at the International UFO Congress in Arizona next year and by the way great mag. "Open Minds" keep it up. Were bringing three night vision goggles and hope to catch something when we go to the congress.
    I think some people may be envious of Walton that is always a possibility. I agree with you about Polygraphing certain individuals on the other side of the coin. In a past post I called on UFO researcher to demand in the future when these characters come forward to polygraph them. A prime example is the two who came out claiming they were the cause of Brentwaters. One claiming he drove a police car as a hoax and caused the UFO the other claimed he burnt trash. Also another case which is not related to UFOs. That the character who came out and said he was Bigfoot in the Patterson film. Why wasn't he polygraphed immediately. If we put some of out best witnesses through the ordeal of a polygraph them then we should demand the same when the debunkers present out one of these characters as a solution.

    Thanks

  13. Lol, that was pretty sorry. I was expecting that since the guy is from Snowflake he would be claiming inside knowledge, that the Walton family confessed to him it was a hoax or something like that. But instead it's just a bunch of hypothesizing that people like Phil Klass touched on years ago. And it's kind of hard to take the guy seriously when he starts his rant off with, "OK all of you alien freaks", can't spell, and apparently doesn't know what a period is.

  15. I just read Billy Cox on the latest semi-literate L.A Times article, and then watched the equally semi-literate video from a Thunk Tank that was in his blog. I just read the latest MUFON Journal, and the abduction article was barely above the level of The National Enquirer. Perry White explodes, "Great Cesar's Ghost....Where's Kent?"

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106912/board/nest/93104867?p=1

    The original comment is there, as you posted it, but there's also several follow up responses from the same source for the original comment.

    Just thought you'd want to consider this further information on the subject.

  18. Dear spiraldance,
    This is what I love about the internet. Learning more and more about the perosn through the interaction of people. All the ranting on earth will not hide the truth, and the truth is, the Travis Walton they see, are not the real Travis Walton but he is seen through the eyes of a agenda based on expediency and a rigid belief system. I know some say ignor these people and some I do. I don't pretend that some of them do influence others that may have been open minded. Reducing the value of people through their imperfect humanity when they have changed is a low blow at a UFO witnesses so UFO Media Matters took issue with it.

  20. No one can claim he is telling the truth and be sure, but, he has always been a calm, and thoughtful speaker.

    He appears "resigned" to what ever he is...take it or leave it.

    We must use reason.

    Thanks for yet another awesome subject to ponder, Joe. :)

    True but he is a prime example of the debunkers belief system. It is not only disbelief in anything like this it is hatred of anyone who is invovled in anything like this.

  22. It should be somewhat troubling that Sank Flake was never the "county sheriff," a rather large error for his supposed nephew to make. Flake was the police chief in the then-tiny Town of Snowflake for many years. Marlin Gillespie was the Navajo County Sheriff at the time. I was living in Heber when the Walton incident occurred, and my father-in-law was in the same business as Walton and Rogers. He also speculated that the incident was invented because Walton and Rogers were having problems with their Forest Service contracts, but this was pure baseless speculation. I've been the legal advisor to the Navajo County Sheriff's Office for the past 13 years and have not heard anything "incriminating" about Walton.

  23. Dear Lancebp,
    Thank you so much for helping us to get the full picture of what happened. I wonder now if this Walton hater was even telling the truth, and if not why all this bother? I wish I could get in touch with Clifton who he apologies to, but I think Clifton has enough of the limelight.
    This is why the internet is so important a man who didn't do anything wrong has been victimized twice, once by who ever took him, and twice by those who were suppose to protect him.
    Thanks again

  24. Hi guys, it's me. Travis. The whole thing WAS a lie. I needed a way to postpone my financial obligations; I was going to lose everything! The spotlight from the helicopter and subsequent UFO story was an easy way out. I never expected the story to snowball like it did. I was pretty messed up on drugs at the time. I'm sorry for the all the ridicule and stress my friends and family went through, but I would do it all again, because I GOT PAID and you got PLAYED! Boo Ya!

  26. I had the pleasure of hearing Travis Walton speak just a week ago tonight, and I found him and the story of his UFO experience totally credible. He didn't make up facts; if someone asked him something he didn't remember, then he said so. That's not the behavior of someone who wants to make up a "fantastic tale" for public consumption. Until someone proves otherwise, I will remain 100% behind his account of those events so many years ago.

  27. Dear Anonymous,
    I had a friend who went to dinner with him and said he was a down to earth humble person. A far cry from what is described this local resident. Some police are well know for holding on to a theory even though it doesn't make sense anymore. Walton and 6 other guys some who didn't like each other holding on to a hoax for all these years doesn't make sense. I learned over the years the only side that has to make sense is the side supporting the UFO report. The other side can say what they like and they get away with it in the mainstream media and with debunkers.

    Thanks

  28. Thank you all for your support. I commend you for seeing "sheriff's nephew" is a fake. He isn't the first to try for such attention. Even persons taking a supportive position sometimes claim to be a close school chum, girlfriend or coworker. One supporter claimed to attend the homecoming party after my return -- except that party was movie fiction. Another bragged in the chainsaw shop about knowing me and Mike, unfortunately Mike was standing there, not even recognized.
    Too many lies to refute all here. Main points should be sufficient to see it's all fiction. If "sheriff's nephew" doesn't even know town Marshall Sank Flake was never County Sheriff, how much could be "inside story"? Public record that Marlin Gillespie was Sheriff. Neither my son nor his cousins can figure out who "nephew" was, even after checking yearbook. Ken Peterson said his family never owned any property in Concho, which is 30 mi from Snowflake, not 5. Allen never lived in Concho. Established record that entire crew lived in Snowflake.

  29. The night of the 1975 incident the crew met with lawmen at a gas station closed for the night. There has never been a Red Robin diner in Heber. The 1st Red Robin opened in 1993 - in PA. "Nephew" changed claim to Red Onion, but that first opened 20 yrs later. I most certainly DID do interviews locally and they did question townspeople and none claimed "nephew's" tale. for every UFO case big debunkers check astronomy charts and local aviation, yet never claimed AF maneuvers. Debunkers scoured this community for bad stories, yet never used "nephew's" tale, supposedly so known here. The contract was Mike's, I was an employee. The "contract motive" theory was discredited by signed affidavit by Forest Service Contracting Officer. Report by examining doctor did not describe "dirty needle marks" on my stomach and eye. He sent my blood & urine samples to medical examiner's drug screen, which showed no trace of any drug. Also, 2 of the 5 or 6 polygraph tests I passed asked about the drug claim. All 6 crew went back that night. Mike's return alone was movie fiction. Actual polygraph questions are public record, not "nephew's" version.
    Although a skeptic, Sank will be furious to learn "nephew" is claiming he knew incident was a hoax. If Sank can figure out who "nephew" really is, he might even join me if I sue for slander.
    In my book I take each debunker charge and cite independently verifiable documents and statements by experts, proving the debunker case is as much a sham as what "county sheriff's nephew" posted.

  30. I solicited an opinion about the methods used by The Moment of Truth from world renowned polygraph expert Cleve Backster. Backster is still in practice with over 50 years experience and originated procedures adopted as the gold standard throughout the field. He has twice testified before the U.S. Congress and in landmark court cases. He has held high posts in the top polygraph organizations and presided over countless training courses for law enforcement at local, state and federal levels, including Fort Gordon, U.S.Army Counterintelligence Corps, the CIA, the U.S. Dept of Defense Polygraph School, Canadian Police College Polygraph Examiner School, and the the FBI Academy. His school, Baxter Associates said, "Moment of Truth uses a technique that was discarded years ago...a non-validated technique."

    ReplyDelete
  31. Another top expert gave me his opinion on The Moment of Truth. Dr. David C. Raskin, a former Professor of Psychology at the University of Utah is the author of the most respected textbooks in polygraphy and published many oft-cited papers on lie detection and his refinement of the most widely accepted method in use today. In his 50+ years in the field he has been a court recognized expert in famous trials like the Howard Hughes will, Jeffrey (Fatal Vision) McDonald, serial killer Ted Bundy, the DeLorean affair, and the McMartin preschool case. He has testified before British Parliament, Israeli Kineset, and four times before the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. Senate with regard to cases like Watergate and Iran-Contra. Dr Raskin told me, "...I have always thought those TV programs are a disgrace... Any polygraph examiner who participates in such charades should not be allowed to practice. I have been asked to be the principal in such shows and I have always refused...I agree with the criticisms made by Mr. (Michael) Martin." Martin created the aforementioned THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MOMENT OF TRUTH website, www.polytest.org/momenttruth.html

  32. Thinking the show would air as scheduled, I lined up experts and national media appearances to refute the show, and took the most rigorous new polygraph tests available. So they cancelled the show, but told me I was still bound by the contract which specified a one million dollar penalty if I revealed anything about the show before it aired. I added to my book the basics about the show in a general way, and detailed the new tests without telling why I sought new tests. Now that it finally aired in South Africa, Portugal and France I am free to reveal their deceiving of TV audiences around the world. It is possible their unethical examiner deceived them about the validity of his methods, but I know they were aware of THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MOMENT OF TRUTH website (www.polytest.org/momenttruth.org

    The most rigorous testing standards available to me were to be found in NM where results are admissible in court and so are tightly regulated by state law. I took two tests from the most respected firm which does testing for New Mexico State Prison, Albuquerque Police Dept and even the United States Marshal's Service. State of the art method and modern 5 trace equipment with digital scoring and readout was used. I passed both new tests flawlessly. More details in the newest edition of my book. But skeptics will try to pretend a deceptive game show's results supercede five properly conducted tests. And the 12 other tests passed by others and all the other evidence.

    1. Hey, "Nephew "! Please go back to English class, then rewrite your letter/comments. I cannot believe anyone who can't spell, much less complete a thought in writing. Who could?
      Travis, I believe. And I can read and understand him as well. Just a thought here: The only place where intelligent life has been proven to exist is here, on our home, Earth. (So far.) Who's to say that these other life forms have to be from another planet? There's so much that we don't know about our own home. Unexplained things abound. Time travel and parallel universes seem to be ever an increasing likelihood. Einstein himself said that if you could travel even close to the speed of light, you'd be time traveling. And it seems to me that since it would take those speeds to get here from other worlds...I really believe there to be actual wormholes, on Earth.
      "Scientists" need to climb out of each other's butts and go speak to the people who have been the caretakers of this part of our home, the American Indians/ Native/ First Nations people!
      And LISTEN!
      My thoughts are that they have been here all along...just behind the veil. Travis wasn't hurt. Not to say there aren't some around that would do harm. Most encounters seem to be either helpful or them just kind of saying "yeah, we are here too, believe it or not " I saw Travis once saying that he thought that in his case, they were trying to help him. I wish I knew how he meant that.

  36. Everyone keeps going over the same inconsistant crap missquotes misspellings and out of context garbage that's being rehashed over again. Sanford Flake wasn't even the sheriff of Navajo county at that time it was Marlin Gillespie, Flake was the town marshal. I wonder how many people have ever even read Waltons entire book. My opinion of the whole story is undecided-I can't make a judgement on it. There's just not enough conclusive evidence in either direction.
    The first time I heard of this story was January of 1987 when WNYW Fox 5 NY aired the documentary "UFO's are real". I've always been curious about where exactly Travis said he was abducted and where he was returned (they are two different spots).
    The so-called "nephew" is probably somebody that did a lame attempt at research on the net and added a few things that he made up himself.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Dear Ben,
    Travis does discuss in his presentation about the spot where he was taken. He showed that testing of certain trees near the object had been affected.
    He was not put back in the same spot but he was put back near a phone. Remember there was five days of amnesia when he was abducted.
    Although these articles go over the same stuff there are many who are now interested and do not know the story. These articles also bring out people who have not come forward before. I had a niece of the man who took the last polygraph test comment on what her uncle thought about the results of that test here on this blog. So stories may never end because as mush as we believe many have come forward I am sure there are many who have not.
    Thanks

  38. I can't understand why Travis even agreed to be on "The Moment of Truth" in the first place. In his book he said he would not concede to something like that and clearly explained why. I think the fact that Snowflake and the surrounding communities are so small adds strength to their story though. In order for it to be a hoax Travis would have had to have been hiding somewhere for 5 days. The places are so small and everyone knows each others business so there's just nowhere to hide.
    He kept making references to the "rim road" I'm assume he was talking about AZ highway 260 west of Heber.

  39. I don't understand why Travis appeared on "The Moment of Truth" anyway. He said in his book that he wouldn't concede to that and clearly explained why. I think the fact that Snowflake and it's surrounding communities had such small popluation strengthens it though. In order for it to be a hoax he would have to be hiding somewhere for those 5 days. In such small places where everyone knows each others business there's nowhere to hide.

  40. I know for a fact that I Michael Boland in 1990 I saw in the wooded area directly adjacent to my home in Memphis Tennessee a craft not of this world. It hovered above me for about 10 long minutes I ran inside and called a friend who lived up the street Danny Young, he was hesitant to believe me for only about a second. He could tell in my voice I meant it. He got on his ten speed and rode to the house and of course by the time he arrived it had vanished. While I thought it was over and he thought I was nuts we both heard strange movements and light flares in the wooded area we attempted to walk towards the area then as a cold chill warned us to run the other direction. I know what I saw was real and I will take a lie detector any day and pass it every time!!! This ship had a low hum to it and no lights at all on it. It just looked like a big dark dish over the well bended treeline. Not doubting the substance of Travis Walton's story at all truth or lie!

  49. All UFOs or aliens or what have you are satanic in nature. I still can't believe that so many people think there is life forms visiting us from another world. This is all part of Satans Great Deception to turn people away from Jesus Christ. Many shall be deceived in the last days and it's a dam shame. Stop worrying so much about little green men and worry more about where your soul will spend eternity after your life here on earth. That should be every humans ultimate aspiration.

  53. I was only about 4 months old when the incident was alledged to have taken place and grew up in the 1980's hearing about it about 11 years after it took place. If the story is true I often wonder what would I have done if I was in that situation, especially if I was alone with no friends/co-workers/fellow sawyers. If I saw a yellowish craft like the one depicted on the front cover of the original printing of "The Walton experience" and as featured in the video "UFO's are real" I probably would have froze like a deer caught in headlights. If it began to move towards me I would have tried to speed or run away. There's no way in hell I would have walked up to something like that ...

    ReplyDelete
  54. One is always uneasy about such stories, especially when the principal character has effectively made a career of it. It is almost too easy to believe it is a hoax. Mr. Walton's book is almost too finely detailed, in a sense too polished, too literate and too literary, to be wholly convincing as non-fiction. And all of the principals involved now have too much at stake to qualify as objective truth-tellers. we should hear more directly from the law enforcement people who were involved, or from other individuals who, early on. were involved in investigating the story and who were persuaded as to its verity -- or at least who found it to be convincing (or unconvincing, for that matter). Mostly whatever we believe is just a matter of personal inclination.

  55. I think you have forgotten that Travis admitted he had witnessed UFOs before and believed they were friendly. At the time that type of statement was considered "crazy talk" now we know these object were monitoring our military bases. In the famous Trent case, they had had multiple sightings that is why they had the camera ready. I would walk toward the object myself. Since I've been around the UFO community I know of people here who would and have done that.

  56. Happystrap,
    I think you need to do some reading on Travis. For ten years after the initial incident he wouldn't even grant an interview. It was than he decided to write a book. I don't see a hoaxer in this. They took polygraph test; they passed. Plus, when you meet him you kind a know this is not a hoaxer. I want to know what happened for the large chunk of time he couldn't remember? Last time I heard he refuses to go under hypnotic-therapy.

  57. I haven't read Travis' book yet, but in the movie, the Sheriff had a difficult time believing what all the guys involved told them, and the main investigator just flat out refused to believe it, therefore bringing up all types of possibilities that could have happened instead. (Was that part true, or just added for dramatics in the film?)

    It's easier for some people to believe Travis's story is fiction, mainly because the idea of an alien abduction is too "crazy" for their minds to wrap around. Because of their mindset, of course they would've imagined and talked about all types of scenarios that could have "really" happened. It's so obvious that this debunker has heard the gossip and speculation.

    With a paranormal-type event, it's safer for people to believe that Travis is telling tales because otherwise, they would have to admit we have visitors, and that, scares them mindless.

    People seem more apt to believe the negative, rather than believe the facts that point to the truth. Other than those who's psyche can't handle the possibility of E.B.E. visiting Earth, I think it's a reflection of what they know their own selves are capable of doing, and in their narrow-mindedness, imagine that everyone else has the same morals and conscience as they do. They are so wrong. ;-) Just my Long-Winded 2Cents.

  61. Let me start by saying that I find most UFO fanatics to be just that, fanatics. They will believe most anything because they WANT to believe it. That being said, I have personally seen a UFO, as a teen, fairly up close, hovering at tree-top level, but I have still always had a hard time with the idea of aliens visiting us from another planet. However, I must admit that I have always found the Walton story to be quite interesting reguardless of how far-fetched I find the whole idea in general. I must add that some of his more recent comments about him being taken because they accidentally harmed him by far the most reasonable explanation, as once again, for the most part, I just don't buy into alien abduction stories in general....

  62. Walton took another lie detector test in 1993 and passed. So that is at least 8 passed tests between 6 people. Also, each of the witnesses continue to have trama due to the experience. The problem here is the miopic organized religion followers that can't see a forest beyond a tree.

  63. it amazes me that it took the sherrif's family member so long to respond.... why not him. no evidence was ever found that they lied and as for the government and air force involvement well that speaks for itself... area 51- anyone-oh that's right they never lie or cover any thing up- NEVER!!!!! we're not freaks and unless u were there you only have an opinion and nothing else. it doesn't add up to a hoax by any means... the ridicule and stupid personal attacks like these strengthen the case... what did they gain- really? censure, ridicule and disbelief? wow! sign me up and a side order of family discord, too wonderful!!!
    i hope the sheriff and that deputy get taken next... maybe that'll be enough to give them proof... as for this version of events... its too ridiculous... how did the sheriff not uncover all this back then- lack of skill?sounds to me like they were drinking- hows it feel to not be believed?

  64. I don't know if you watch Paranormal Witness but they went back to the Travis Walton case and interviewed the main players. You need to watch that episode. If any of you out there believe TW hoaxed it you are mistaken. Even the Sheriff now can't explain what happened and doesn't believe the hoax theory anymore. This was just on TV it was shocking to see what really happened to him how he still breaks down and cries when he concentrates on his memory of being on the ship.
    After seeing that I know anyone who call TW a hoaxer is just full of BS. Something extraordinary happened to the whole group and I can't explain any way other than way than..I am going to say it...so all you Alien Phobics cover your eyes Don't look....Little green men from another Planet.

Either they have fooled the world with a story that has yet to be debunked, or they experienced something that would change every aspect of our lives. The world would never be the same. Yet there's people like this kid. Who is trying to blast these guys on the net and can't even put a sentence together. If you are adamant about not believing what happened, fine. Why not provide an educated non-biased account of objective facts. How do you know anyone "passed out from drinking after work"? Subjective statements with no real merit will not help your cause. Your description of Travis and his co-workers is exactly how I picture you. A lying thieving drunk who just wants attention. The previous postings seem to verify what I'm saying. That's what you could call an objective fact kid.

    1. I have no problem some one thinking it is all crap. But if anyone wants to debate it's all crap they have to explain how the seven "UFO Freaks" could have beaten multiple polygraph test. They have to explain the evidence which surfaced by way of the Freedon of Information Act released documents that the US Air force had been tracking "Unknowns" all during that time in the same area by radar. I'm sorry for people who call names but do not look at facts. People who live by knowing instead of learning find it almost impossible to change...even when they are wrong.

  78. I for one am very open minded as I don't and won't ever believe that we are the only living people or creatures in this huge universe that we live in. Whether this man was abducted no one will ever know but him! Onlyhe will die with the truth inside, maybe it is lies but then maybe something did happen. The fact he claimed there were other people in that 'ship' but that there eyes were different then surely they were also ' missing' I thought by now he would have identified what these people looked like and who they were!!

  79. I'm not saying I fully believe what happened that night and I'm not saying it wasn't true as only Travis and his work colleagues will ever know what truly happened. But for some punk kid who went to school with his son Clifton and possibly related to the sheriff that was involved in the case to right a version of what he believes on Google is pathetic as how would you Joseph capp truly know? Was you present that night? Was you born? I believe what Joseph has written is Proberly the views of the actual sheriff. Either that or he was one of these jealous kids in school and daint like the attention Clifton was getting. Unless you have solid proof Joseph you should not comment on situations touch wernt involved in. Idiot.

  85. There's no way to prove it didn't happen. Skeptics are the same type of people who believe everything that's in a government issued school text book and cannot think outside the box. FACT: between archaeologist and historians new physical evidence has emerged that proves Europeans have been to North America pre-viking times and after. Arm chair skeptics cannot accept this fact because it is not covered in government issued text books or are too bone headed to be capable of thinking outside the box. They consider themselves intellectuals and too smart to believe in anything outside the norm they are used to. More or less they are FTARDs because they are not as smart as they think they are.
    Point is, things exist that humans cannot explain nor can the human brain comprehend all there is in the universe let alone on our own planet, FACT.

  89. Dear Anonymous,
    Of course you are right. but that is the nature of the UFO phenomenon today. Travis is a case that has not been proven or debunked for that matter. I am not a scientist nor do I claim to be one. Travis has never been debunked as a hoax. One thing pretty well proven is that all saw an object hovering in a clearing on the way home from work and Travis seemed to go missing for 5 days.
    In the years that have followed Travis and the grew saw something that they have not been able to explain nor has anyone else.

  90. I have never believed his story, although, if I did, I'd be terrified. As a child, I was terrified. But let's be real for a moment. How many 'abductions' have ever taken place? Millions...and millions of people. All over the world!!! And yet, we get less than a handful of stories. That alone makes me incredibly skeptical as to the truth of 'abductions'. Secondly, how hard is it to make up a story? People here put all their faith in a story. I could make up a story like that if I wanted. Really, its not that difficult. I could manipulate facts in such a way as to pass a lie detector test. I will never understand people...

  98. You shouldn't discount this blogger's commentary merely because it is poorly written. Confusing "there" for "their", "are" for "our", poor sentence/paragraph structure, and so forth, is not an indication of stupidity or lack of quality education. In reality, it is what could be considered a type of learning disorder, similar (in some sense) to dyslexia.

    I know this because I am similarly afflicted, yet I possess formidable powers of concentration and am highly educated.

    With that said, the content of the blogger’s commentary is not sufficiently internally consistent to be considered credible.

  99. The whole story is nothing but fraud from the beginning to the end. What do Rogers and his co-workers do when they say Walton being zapped by the beam of light from the UFO? If anyone was there when it happened the first reaction would have been spontaneous - to save his life. Their fear would have evaporated and overshadowed by the instinct of trying to save the live of their fellow co-worker. Rogers and his crew would have gone to Walton's rescue since they thought he could have been struck a fatal blow. But what did they do? According to their story, they drove away in fear. That reaction was a concoction because they forgot to factor in human instinct in their fraudulent story.

  108. Imagine my surprise to read the words of some guy claiming to be Sank Flake's great nephew as I am actually Sank's great niece. Our family is HUGE, so it is reasonable to believe at first glance that I might be reading something a random cousin wrote. However, it didn't take very long to realize this guy has never even been to Snowflake. This fictional diner he mentions is downright comical to me. Every summer my siblings and I were forced to leave the comforts of our Phx metro home to stay in Snowflake with my cousins. Our biggest complaint was that there was nothing to do and no place to hang out. There was exactly one cafe and it was technically in Taylor. It was more of a hang out for our grandparents. They served pie and closed early. It was called Trappers. Someone from Snowflake would not get the name wrong, especially since it was the only game in town.
    I can also debunk, using simple common sense, the claims that there was air force training going on. My father was an air force officer. The reason my family lived in the valley was to be close to Luke and Williams Air Force Bases. I used to get sick travelling to Snowflake because it was soooo long and the roads were up an down and up and down through the mountains. But then at the end it was a beautiful, tall forest that smells like Christmas. There are many directions one can travel from the starting point of Phoenix. Almost all of these directions would very quickly lead to desert land and open sky. Why would the air force choose the one place in AZ known for it's mountains and forest to perform test maneuvers? This guy claiming to be my cousin most likely has never even been to Arizona. Most importantly, I have to add that Uncle Sank is one of the most dignified men I've ever known. I never heard him discuss any law enforcement business, much less this particular case. He would be furious when he heard anyone gossiping. I can't imagine him going around telling everyone Mr. Walton was on drugs.
    I know I am not your typical contributor here as I have absolutely no knowledge of anything UFO related. I only remembered Travis Walton's story when I saw him on The Kardashians and realized it is the perfect subject for my son's research paper. I may not know about UFOs, but I can offer some insight into social theory:
    Snowflake is a tiny town. They only recently got a Taco Bell, which if you were to ask anyone living there, is the most exciting thing to ever happen there. I'm sure that in 1975, the Walton family was all any of them talked about. But in the last 30 years, I only heard talk of the incident when the film came out. I was in my early teens and couldn't believe anyone would make a film set in the most boring place on earth. I still haven't actually seen the film because the trailer looks really scary and I try to avoid anything that gives me nightmares. I asked my dad about it and he said he wasn't living there at the time, but he heard a little about it. Later, I listened intently as he was chatting with my uncle during a visit to Snowflake and all I gathered from the conversation is that some people say he was on drugs, but my uncle thought he was a good kid and wouldn't do that. I know that seems like nothing, but it closes the subject for me. These people don't place a label on someone haphazardly. The simple fact that the incident is rarely mentioned among my family and only in terms of possibility (not a definite yes or no it did or didn't happen) tells me that there was no deliberate hoax. If Mr. Walton was known to be dishonest or a drug addict, that would be the topic of discussion 100% of the time and it would be discussed a lot more than the Taco Bell. I suspect that, like me, they aren't sure and they are scared to find out.

  109. Police piece witnesses' stories together to study their changes. This determines deception. Since everyone passed their polygraph I'd say this story was a mistaken COMET. Comets are different from asteroids/meteors. Read the witnesses' statements: the sky was on fire, beam of light, etc. These guys ran into a comet. When Travis explored the fire he was hit by a gust of of ice followed by the initial impact. The driver panicked and took off. Well, by the time he came back the comet was long extinguished. He lost the exact location and Travis was unconscious, in a coma for days. As he revives, he would hallucinate anything from aliens...anything. What else could it be. Comets are very commonly reported in the White Mountains of Arizona.

  115. So based on most of the comments herein, am I to understand that if Travis Walton had written and published his book without a ghost writer and editor, and read as though it were written by a third grader, it should automatically be discredited? Since when does lack of proper grammar constitute lack of integrity? If that is the case, many of you have excluded yourselves for the same reason, which to me, is pretty assenine - when you consider that ALL text and word programs contain a useful little feature called, SPELLCHECK!!!
    In any case, grammar notwithstanding, the author provides nothing to validate his claims and provides no verifiable citations that would compel anyone to take him seriously.

  124. Since Mr Walton began to question the issue of MILAB (Military alien abduction) it is possible that there was an excellent reason for the Military activity in the area at that time. On the other hand, if Aliens were operating without permission (so to speak) that would be another reason for the activity. Military response to Alien-UFO activity has been suspected for logical reasons.

  130. If the skeptics are to believe the Travis Walton story could be true, then the true believers should also listen to the skeptics. Consider the following basic opinions: Isn't it convenient that the most famous UFO abduction case ever occurred in the United States? We are of course the birthplace of Hollywood, and Star Trek. This country will reward you if you can fool enough people. The rewards and popularity that Travis Walton earned from all this were only possible in the United States, no country in Europe or anywhere else would have turned him into some kind of folk hero. Travis Walton is no longer a woodcutter, he's a semi-famous guy who tours the country, wrote a book, sold the movie rights, and attends UFO conventions as the worshiped "key note" speaker. It must be fun staying in hotels, drinking coffee at conventions and meeting new people, and having Star Trek groupies take you out to dinner and pay for the bill. There's plenty of evidence that the whole thing was a hoax, if you want you can read for yourself. I don't believe the Travis Walton story, and I'm just giving some general obvious opinions... I'm also the type of guy who would "like to believe" but I'm not easily fooled... The aftermath benefited Travis Walton, and only Mike Rogers had to be in on the hoax, it would be semi-challenging but very possible to trick several average Joes sitting in a truck in the middle of the night w/a semi-carefully planned "light show"... And if you do your homework on the polygraph tests you will have to admit they are not conclusive, the loggers in the truck may have been tricked too so they're tests mean nothing, and the validity of Travis Walton's are hotly contested or they were failed... Bottom Line most people will believe what they want and find evidence that provides affirmation for what they already think: But sorry, Bruce Lee, Elvis, and Tupac are not alive on some secret island, UNLV did not intentionally point-shave and lose the Duke in 1991, and Travis Walton did not get kidnapped by Aliens from another universe.

    1. You're exactly right. Polygraphs are unreliable to the point of being virtually useless, so that "evidence" needs to be completely disregarded. Polygraphs are the stuff of Hollywood and the pseudoscience of the past. If they actually worked, we wouldn't need courts and judges. Tons of research shows us they are unreliable. Also, people can be made to "remember" just about anything and will readily admit to just about anything under the right circumstances. The power of suggestion, the terribly inaccurate human memory, great imagination, etc. People in courts have sworn to be eyewitnesses of an event, only to have their testimonies disproven by video evidence. But they just swore they "knew" what they saw. People have admitted to murders they didn't commit, both in courts and in psychological studies. People have been convicted of satanic ritual abuse and murders and all sorts of nonsense based on testimony of eyewitnesses who thought they knew what they saw and remembered, only to be proven wrong years and years later. The human mind and memory are terribly flawed, so using the stories these guys told and the "eyewitness" accounts, as well as the useless polygraphs as evidence, just isn't using good logic or critical thinking skills. People can believe what they want, that's fine. I think it's a great story and it doesn't matter to me whether it's true or not. I'm not insisting that it didn't happen, I'm just saying that claiming it's true because of "eyewitness" accounts and polygraphs is just silly.

The Aliens who come to earth are obviously much further along when it comes to being technologically advanced.

  140. Some of you people need to start over and go back to kindergarten. Your grammar and punctuation is so horrible. Maybe the aliens can teach you.

  141. oh now come on..EVERY one of these comments is totally pointless, do any of you idiots actually understand what is being said here? it's just a vicious circle, NOW you all worry about a misplaced a or b,regardless, obviously the hick made up the story, what,no one has ever been camping for a week before?it's amazing what you can think up for an alibi, the guy had amnesia but could eventually remember EVERY detail of the craft and occupants,actually abductions would be pointless, ask your dr if he had to abduct people to learn about the human anatomy, gee, tv, books, movies, seems pretty traumatized to me, as for aliens from another planet, you can thank mr orson wells for implanting that idea, like now, all aliens look the same?humans are humans no matter how,god fearing honest they seem to be, of course the more he tells it the more real it becomes, and tsk tsk, bad grammar has NOTHING to do with it,cut the bullshit, he sat around a cozy campfire for a week (not working) thinking of his story,, sorry travis, i know about you, .it's my job,. these craft are from here, ... the REAL fox..X

  142. And notice how he says "my uncle" this my uncle that and he doesnt give his name but then he says-"go ahead-belittle me-but ill answer all ur questions later-this dude is the one who is the hoax and many people in navajo county know who he and hes simply trying to make a buck because only he "knows the truth"-notice how hes just now coming out with his story?-thats because he figured he could make a buck off of travis' infamy hence him just now coming out with the story. Why didnt he come out with this decades ago? Because he just now got the idea "wow-maybe i can stir shit up and make me some money! Hes a little turd fart knocker that people know in navajo county and many people would like to get "in the ring" with the punk but why do that? That would just give the turd boy more noteriety so its best just to ignore the little lying fame seeking turd boy. Go to navajo county yourself and everybody will tell you that something unexplainable happened to travis and hes telling the truth and dont give turd boy here any creedence. I would give his name out but then i would feel responsible if something bad happened to him.

  144. I just saw the movie for the first time, and decided to look the story up online. I cannot say that I positively believe in UFO's, but I cannot say that I don't. I am leaning toward Mr. Walton telling the truth, mostly because I know the lengths the government and others will go to to cover things up and if there are any doubts just look at all the incidents...the Warren Commission, The Pentagon papers, Wategate and all the recent Obama administration scandals and lies. Mr. Walton, if you ever read this, I sincerely hope things are going well for you these days. My name is Michael...as for all the anonymous types, consider the sources.

  145. Well I've seen a strange, silent craft hovering for about 25 minutes before moving off about 20 years ago so I know they are real whatever "they" are. Not only is this lying thrill seeker who can't spell or put two words together correctly but all his facts seem to have come from watching Fire In The Sky, Travis even said that the movie makers mixed fact with fiction so .....
    Anyway I believe Travis and his crew and all who took part in Paranormal Witness, as to what exactly that is I don't know but something very strange took place, maybe it really was an abduction of alien origin.
    Whatever the case this "nephew" is full of sxxt in everything he is saying, he has nothing right about the place, family, people from around the tiny town of Snowflake or the evidence.

  146. I fully 100% believe in Travis, Mike and the other men. Who are we to judge their lives, their characters, their being. I hope Travis has his peace and is happy. Every time I see him on a show, I love his courage. Only time I was upset is when I feel like they were picking on him on the Kardashian's show, now that is horrible.

  147. Just love these goofballs that insist Big Foot and ET are going to make themselves known one day.The minute you look into the eyes of the kind of people who believe this stuff you can tell they're not playing with a full deck.It's called Science Fiction

  148. I'm sorry but Concho is not five miles from snowflake it's more like 25 miles so you don't really know what your talking about. I knew Travis and in my opinion I do believe it was a hoax

  149. This is you basically saying. Oh I don't like the truth so I going to try and debunk it as much as possible. For a high group of people to all pass a lie detector is very low probability.
    Furthermore only because you don't believe in stuff like that doesn't mean others don't have to take your view of it. No one asked for it and clearly you can't be taken seriously and you sound very judgemental just from your opening paragraph
